Bachmann Brake Van

[Casey's mate]

I see Bachmann have now posted an image of what the brake van is going to look like. Not sure what I think of it. I'm sure it will look fine with the rest of the Thomas stuff but probably a bit too big for anything else.

Gah! Mel! They've copied your brake van!

They could have done a Toad, that would have fitted better with the rest of the range, as Toad was the only named brake van in the Thomas books IIRC?

 

[Northsider]

Hmmm. The chassis could be useful, though!

Toad was only any use on Ducks branch though, wonder why they chose NW lettering as there was never any name in the books or pictures for the Sodor railway.

Its the "Spiteful Brakevan" from the TV series.....Slightly diff looking version to the one in the books...Donald and Douglas story......

 

[sparky230]

they seem to be going for the more modern Tv stories not the traditional books.
Heard rumours that they may do Daisy
